An awesome tool. I use it to drive lag screws, especially the long 3/8" ones that the 1/4" impact driver can't quite handle. And it's incredibly useful for using on bolts, particular stubborn nuts or in confined spaces. No easier way to stitch two steel framed flats together on the top of a ladder than with this thing. I even got the 1/4" hex adapter and drive screws when I don't have another driver handy; the trigger control is good enough to drive even 1/2" long wood screws without over-torquing.

I am an automotive technician and use this impact wrench to quickly loosen big bolts. This impact produces way more torque than any other battery powered one I've owned (including my last Makita one). I have yet to come across the bolt that overpowers this tool. My pneumatic impact gets alot less use now. This tool is relatively compact, it operates easily in tight spaces. The Li batteries this uses are pretty great too, I almost never have to charge them.
